To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Josxi M. Unem'rnj a journal lubricators, and has for an object to provide animproved device for this purpose embodying many novel and practical features of construction.

I Another object of the invention is to pro-- videa railway journal lubricator embodyinga pair of rollers of a novel construction held in a manner to engage the journal to continuously supply lubricant thereto dur- I 'ing rotation of the journal.

Another object of the invention is to provide a journal lubricator including a reservoir and parts appurtenant thereto adapted to engage snugly the journal thereby preventing waste of oil by insuring its return to ithe reservoir aftercontact with the joinna A still further object of the invention is to provide shields in a railway journal lubricator of the character above described whereby to collect oil from the journal and return the same to the reservoir thereby preventing Waste of oil.

A. still further object of the invention is to provide a new and novelmeansfor resiliently supporting the reservoir and resili-. jent means for supporting the lubricating rollers in contact with the journal thereby allowing for inequalities in the ournals or bearings of the journal with the result 7 that the journal is continuously and efliciently lubricated. at all times. A still further object of the invention is to provide a tool of a specific "construction whereby my improved journal lubricator may be assembled within a journal box.

In addition to the foregoing my invention comprehends improvements in the details of construction and arrangement of the parts to be hereinafter more fully described and particularly set forth in. the appended claims. I

In the-accompanying drawings in which similar and corresponding parts are designated by thesame characters of reference throughout the several views in which they appear:

With reference to the drawings 10' indicates a casing or journal box. 11 the journal. which is formed in manner on its outer end with an annular enlargement 12, and 13 indicates the bras es or hearings located at the upper end of the journal box and against which the journa bears.

My improved journal lubricalor comprises a reservoir proper 14 which is substantially rectangular in configuration and has opposite longitudinal side? rounded adjacent the bottom as at15, the e ids of the reservoir being provided upon their upper edges circular cut-away .tion 3."? to. conform to the transverse curvature at the journals. The under side of tl e ervoir exteriorly thereof is formed with a of SZIW ion-- gitudinally extending 18 connected across their ends at the forward end of the reservoir by means of a transversely extending rib-1'9, a secondrib 20 being dispose-C parallel to the rib 19 in spaced relation there the longitudinally extending rilis 18 are likewise connected by means of an integrally formed plate 22 which extends from the rear end of the reservoir to distance sli htly inward.

While I have illustrated and described my 1 invention with some degree of particularity,

I realize that in practice various alterations thereover may be made, and I therefore desire to reserve the rightand privilege of changing the form oi. the details of con- .itruction. or otherwise altering the arrangethe correlative arts without departing scm the spirit 0? the invention or the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Lettere Patent is 1. A railway journal lubricator including a reservoir, a frame rernovably supported upon the reservoir, lugs carried by the frame, a spring strip mounted on each lug, and a pair of lubricating rollers sup ported at their ends upon the strips,

railway journal lubricator including a reservoir,a frame mounted upon the reservoir, lugs formed interiorly of the frame, spring strips mounted on the lugs, the ends of the strips being curved upward, and a pair of lubricating rollers located within the, frame to extend into the rose voir, the ends of the rollers being seated within and supported upon the curved ends so of the spring strips to resiliently hold the rollers against the railway journal.

3, A railway ournal lubricator including a reservoir, a frame removably mounted upon the reservoir, means within the reservoir for supplying lubricant to the railway journal, and a pair of shields 'mounted on the frame to extend upward at opposite sides of the journal to direct lubricant back into the reservoir, 7

4. A railway journal lubricator including a reservoir, a frame removably mounted upon the reservoir, means mounted within the frame for applying lubricant to the railway journal, a strip extending longitudinally adjacent each longitudinal edge of the frame in spaced relation to said sides of the frame, a pair of shields,.one being mounted on each longitudinal side of the frame to extend upward at each side of the journal to receivelubricant and direct the same downward whereby the. lubricant is guided by the strips back into the reservoir.

5. In combination with avrailway journal and journal box, of a journal lubricator including a reservoir, a pair of longitudinally extending spaced ribs formed on the underside of the reservoir, spaced ribs extending' transversely of the reservoir and connecting the ends of the longitudinal ribs to form a recess, and a curved resilient member having one end bent to form an edge to be inserted in the recess, the other end .of the spring member engaging the under side of the reservoir, and the intermediate portionof the member engaging the journalbox to support the reservoir.

6. A tool for inserting a lubricator in a journal box including a pair of parallel members having recesses formed on adjacent ends and the other end connected to form a handle.

In testimony whereof I afiix rny signature .in presence of two witnesses.
